i have been trying to wait till i got to 200 to do new pics but since i have been on a 2 month plateau i thought i'd go on post some new ones

i am kicking up the exercise to break this plateau. i know i could use a fill since i can eat a cup and a half of food but i dont really have the money now so i am gonna try to sweat it out!

these are me at 219 two weeks ago...

Hey Michelle,

Sorry I did not have time to call you today. You are looking great. I wish I had your legs ! I think it has a lot to do with weight distribution and youth, something that i dont have working in my favor! LOL I will call you tomorrow. You look lovely. Thanks for helping me with the pics!!!

You really do look great, I can't even guess how great you must feel! You really are an inspiration!

Congratulations on the loss, the look, the limo and the lucky fella!

Wow, girl, you look beautiful AND happy! It looks like our Cinderella has found her Prince Charming! I hope he knows how lucky of a guy he is. And that's pretty cool, that he's a RNY patient. He can really understand "weight issues". Best of luck to you always!

And I agree with your tips.

Good luck
